The building was rededicated yesterday as the "Bob R. Simpson Building". A dedication ceremony was held there late yesterday afternoon. Here's the Fort Worth Star-Telegram article about the restoration and the renaming:

Love what they've done to it (judging by the pictures). Love the clock.

I don't care at all what they call it. Buildings often change names with new ownership (or tenants?). Heck, wasn't this building over half a century old when its name was changed to the Baker Building?

The building was 57 years old when it was renamed the Baker Building. It proabably was good that they did rename it in 1967, because the First National Bank moved down to 500 W. 7th and was then known as the First National Bank Building.

Does anyone know why the Simpson (Baker) building continues to be surrounded by scaffolding? It doesn't appear as if there are very many work platforms on it, just the support assembly. It's pretty unsightly.

Yes, I think the exposure was about 1 second and I did use a tripod. Every time that I try hand held shots at night, the photographs do not meet my requirements. Thanks for the comments, as those pics were taken more than one year ago.

Again? The clock was down for a while within the last year or so. I guess they are doing more work on it. You have to remember that it sat in the basement of the Bank of America Parking Garage from 1961 until 2005.
